To aZZ 1071,0112, it may concern.-

3e it known that I, OuARLns LANGION CLARKE, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, 5 have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Tobacco-Pipes,(for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Great Britain September 13, 1887, No. 12,411,) of which the following is a specification.

{Q The object of the invention is to provide a tobacco-pipe of ordinary length and capable of being carried in a pocketcase, wherein all the advantages of a pipe with a lengthened stem in the way of cooling the tobacco-smoke I 5 are attained, the smoke being caused to pass through channels which traverse the stem longitudinally three times before being drawn into the mouth of the smoker through the mouth-piece, as hereinafter more particularly 2Q explained.

The novelty resides in the peculiarities of construction, substantially as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

Figure l is an enlarged perspective view of 35 my improved pipe, the upper half of mouthpiece, stem, neck of bowl, and bowl having been cut away so as to exhibit my device. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional detail. Fig. Sis a perspective detail.

A is the bowl of the pipe, partly broken away so as to show the orifice at a in the bottom of the bow], through which the smoke is drawn into the stem.

B is the neck of the bowl, the end of which at b butts up against the end of the stem D. This joint at bis covered, and the parts B and D are held together by the ferrule O, which is attached to the stem D. Instead of the stem being fastened to the neck of the bowl by a 0 ferrule, it may be screwed on the neck in the usual manner.

E is a tube, preferably of metal, closed at the end nearest to the bowl and rigidly attached to the neck 13 of the bowl in a recess formed therein, the end which projects beyond the neck of the bowl being fitted into a recess or enlargement at e of the smoke-passage 3, and is cut out at the end of the sten f is a small tube open at both ends, which fits tightly into an enlargement of the smoke passage 1 at the end of the neck of the bowl,

the end which projects slightly beyond the end ofthe neck of the bowl being adapted to fit into an enlargement of the smoke-passage 1. This small tubef is here placed to prevent any 5 leakage ofsmokepassage l at thejoint covered by the ferrule O.

F is a mouthpiece, preferably of amber, with screw 1 fastened thereto in the usual manner and adapted to screw into the screw'recess h, formed at the mouth-piece end of the stem D. The inner portion of the stem surrounding this screw 9 is cut away, so as to form a circular passage-way or channel, It, for the smoke from smokepassage l to smoke-passage 2 at the opposite side of the pipe-stem, the end of the mouth piece F, when screwed down on the stem, forming a covering for this circular smoke-passage. The stem and neck of the bowl are preferably elliptical in shape, as indi- 7c cated, so as to afford room for the three smokepassages 1, 2, and 3. The end of smokepassage 2 near the joint which is covered by the ferrule is slotted or open, so as to afford a smoke passage or channel; leading into smoke-passage 3 through a hole, m, formed in the side of the tube E.

\Vhcn the smoker uses my improved tobacco-pipe, the smoke is drawn from the bowl along smoke-passage l in the direct-ion of So the arrowhead, thence across to smoke-passage 2 by the circular passage or channel is, thence along smoke-passage 2 in the direction of the arrow head through the hole at into smokepassage 3, and through smokepassage 3 in the direction of the arrow head through the mouth piece F into the smokers month. By the time the tobaccosmoke has reached the smokers mouth it has traversed the length of the stem three times 0 and is quite cooled down, so as to afford all the advantages of apipe with a long stem with none of the disadvantages, as my improved pipe can be handily carried in a coat-pocket with or without a case, the stem not being at all in the way or clumsy to carry. My improved pipe can also be readily cleaned by taking it apartand cleaning the stem'with the three smokepassages, the mouth-piece, and bowl in the usual manner. The inside of the I00 ferrule is also readily accessible for cleaning. The recess 1) in the tube E forms a reservoir for the saliva, so that the saliva from the mouth cannot wet the tobacco in the bowl of the pipe.

I am aware that pipes have been provided with a stem having a plurality of smoke-passages, whereby the smoke is compelled to traverse the stem several times before reaching the mouth of the smoker, and do not seek to cover such construction, broadly, but restrict myself to my eculiar construction and arrangement of parts.

\Vhat I claim as my invention is 1. The combination, with. the bowl having neck 13 and orifice a, of the stem D, having bowl and in the passage 1, and a mouth-piece having a passage communicating with the passage 3, substantially as described.

2. In an improved tobacco-pipe, the combination, with the stern D, pierced with longitudinal smoke-passages 1, 2, and 3 and smokepassage 70, of the mouth-piece F, the tube E, having smoke-passage m, communicating with the passages 2 and 3, pipef, fitted into an enlargement of the passage 1, saliva-reservoir in the bowl end of the tube E, the ferrule G, and the pipe-bowl A, having a neck, B, pierced with smoketube, substantially as described and specified.
